We truly do have the best neighbors and friends in the world. IN THE WORLD. Yesterday morning Sasha and Dick offered to watch the boys so we could get some stuff done. It was great and the boys had a wonderful time on top of it. Then yesterday afternoon, our friend Rob, who I have deemed our 'young, energetic' neighbor hoodwinked another neighbor Greg into helping cut down our drooping tree branches with a chain saw. Soon our neighbors Jeff and Dave were out with THEIR chainsaws and the group of them worked all afternoon. Utterly amazing. I'm not sure why we are so fortunate but I hope we are able to be as generous as they all are.....
Our yard looks tons bigger to me now and we will get more sun which will be great for gardening. Of course my plants got a bit mashed but there was no way around that and they'll be fine next year. It feels so good to have this done. Dennis and his friend Mike had already taken care of a big branch I've wanted out of the way forever and now with this down it just feels like a worry off my plate.
So onward to obsessing about the party. Yesterday we rearranged the living room to attempt to make space for the band. We got a bit giggly as it's going to be rather tight to say the least. Kieran Kane kindly emailed me however and told me to relax.....
Wish me luck being productive today.....
